Dulini River Lodge is a five-star luxury safari outpost located in a 10,000ha concession in the Sabi Sand Game Reserve on the western border of the Kruger National Park. Embraced in a leafy canopy of giant ebony trees, the splendour of the suites grace the banks of the seasonal Sand River.

The Sabi Sand area is regarded as South Africa’s finest game-viewing destination. Absorb the vast knowledge and interpretive skills of your ranger and local Shangaan tracker, who escort you in a fully kitted 4×4 open Land Rover on safari, making for an exceptional wildlife encounter. Spot the Big 5 roaming the area in the day and listen to riverine frogs making themselves heard during the evenings.

Retreat into one of the six washed-wood suites at Dulini, which are tranquil and inviting, each with its own private plunge pool. The old-world charm of the classic safari marries African tradition to bring you fine dining and striking proximity to wildlife. Other treasures on-site include the deep couch lounges, viewing deck, boma, wine cellar, gym, safari shop and friendly staff that are forever attentive.
